About Wood Street Infant School

Wood Street Infant School in Guildford is a small state primary for children aged 4 to 7, and the feedback from its parent community is strikingly positive. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period up to September 2025, 92% of the 12 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed by strong individual scores: every parent strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there, with 83% strongly agreeing on safety. The school is also heavily oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, there were 110 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 93. Only 16 first-preference offers were made, which underlines how sought-after this infant school is among local families.
